I Don't Give A Damn
Part of me is spiritual and part of
me's a beast.
Inside is something special
that just wants to be released.
Part of me's my father just as
part of me's my mom.
Part of me is racist, and yet part
of me is an uncle Tom.
Part of me is passive but the
other part don't fukk around.
My song list is massive because
I like so many kinds of sound.
Part of me is Metal yet I really
like the Hop Hop beat.
I'm not into running but I really
like to move my feet.
Part of me is frugal, but I'd
take your money to the mall.
You can go search Google,
there's Duality within us all.

I'll bring you some hurt if you
want me to, but I'm not into pain.
I'll splash into the ocean but you'll
never see me in the rain.
Yes, I've got the motion if a part
of me would just sustain.
I drink lots of coffee but I'm
not into cocaine.

My eyes are bad but my sight is good.
Sometimes I get mad with a positive attitude.
I hate being rude, but you look like shit.
Please don't call me dude... Dude...
I'm getting pretty sick of it.

I'm almost determined to call it quits.
Missed the goalpost, who's learned
from it.
I need a standing ovation, so please
take a sit.
Where's the women's bathroom...
I gotta take a shit.

Life is just a test and a
big fat oxymoron.
Where do you invest?
This ain't the gig to snore on.
If you wanna win, please
take the best of who I am.
I've got nothing more to give
but I don't give a damn.

I started as a miracle... I'm South-West,
but born back East.
Born with a built in hip hop flow,
I don't do drugs and I encourage peace.
'Cause part of me is like Gandhi but
the other part will go fist ta cuffs.
Part of me is onry but my other side
Don't like to talk tough.
Part of this song repeats itself, but
uses different kinds of words.
Just making sure I got your attention...
My friends do not run with herds.
Part of me is skeptical of the amount
of faith in us I should have...
Yet, somehow I'm still hopeful that we
all could learn and change this path.
Part of me is fragile but most the time
I gotta play that shit off.
I'm like a cat, I'm agile and I won't be
locked down for a cough.

I don't kick dirt... I won't talk about you.
I think that gossip's lame.
I've increased my quotient, but I'm
decreasing my part in this game.
I don't need a potion or elixir
to maintain my youth.
I'm trying to stay sober even though
my drink is eighty proof.

I'm never sad, when I'm feeling good.
I'm feeling contempt, yet Im full of gratitude.
How high is your aptitude? Are you
keeping up with me?
Tell the truth, you won't get sued...
Then there are no lawyers fees.

Sometimes I'm a motorboat... in between
big tits.
I feel like Garry Cooper, I'm just
'Puttin' On The Ritz'.
If we keep at it, I'm sure it will fit.
Please don't say I'm crude, prude...
I see you chomping at the bit.

You're over there squirmin' like snakes in
a pit.
I rock this Savage nation... I write hit
after hit.
I'll travel coast to coast just so you
can hear me spit.
Where's the students classroom...
It's time that throats get slit.

We got time to see who's best,
let's get this battle on.
No more beating chests...
It's on like Donkey Kong.
You can try to troll me but
your rap is just like spam.
It never even made my inbox,
I knew you were a sham.

Life is just a test and a
big fat oxymoron.
What do you invest in?
This ain't the gig to snore on.
If you wanna win, please
take the best of who I am.
I've got nothing more to give
but I don't give a damn.
